It is exactly what happened in the last tournament but rybka won the tournament.

Maybe quad shredder is enough to compete with rybka32 bit but I doubt if it is
enough to compete with rybka64 bits.

Shredder 2 cpu seems to be weaker than Rybka 32 bit

see

There is no big difference between the speed advantage from 32 bit to 64 bit and
the speed advantage from 2 cpu shredder to 4 cpu shredder and note also that
slightly positional personality of rybka is probably another improvement.

I guess that rybka 64 bit slightly positional is better than quad shredder of
the commercial version(note that I say nothing about non commercial version that
may be better)
